Brandan Wright underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery on Tuesday and is out indefinitely.

Wright tried to alleviate the pain in his left ankle through a non-surgical procedure on November 8, but apparently that didn't do the trick. The oft-injured big man has suited up for a mere 20 games over the past two seasons, and he's reportedly going to miss at least the next two months of action. Leave him on the wire.

Brandan Wright received an injection in his ankle and will be re-evaluated on November 14th.

We hadn't had an update on Wright in weeks, until Grizzlies announced on Tuesday that he received regenerative injection therapy to treat his posterior tibialis tendinopathy. He will be re-evaluated by team medical staff Monday. No timetable has been set for his return. Nov 8 - 1:09 PM

Wright just can't ever seem to stay healthy, and while he'll be re-evaluated in 10 days, he remains without an official timetable to return. With Wright out and Marc Gasol's minutes likely to be held in check early on, Zach Randolph could be earning some extended run at the five-spot. Wright isn't worth owning almost anywhere.

Brandon Wright (ankle) will not play in the season opener against the Wolves on Wednesday.

Wright, who had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last year, badly sprained his left ankle early in the preseason and is clearly still not yet 100 percent healed. With starting center Marc Gasol (foot, ankle) on a minutes restriction, there was an opportunity for Wright to see increased playing time, but Wright needs to first get himself healthy.

Coach David Fizdale said Mike Conley's (back) timetable will fluctuate based on pain tolerance.

Conley is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks due to a transverse process fracture in his back. Medically speaking, that part of his back isn't tied to nerves in the spine, so hopefully there aren't lingering effects. While he's out, we'll get a ton of Andrew Harrison as the starter while Wade Baldwin IV will see plenty of minutes. Harrison has been awful, but maybe the new role can get him going.

Vince Carter (hip) will not play against the Blazers on Thursday night.

He was listed as questionable on the injury report on Wednesday, but Carter will miss his sixth straight game. Since he's been out, it's been Troy Williams, Troy Daniels and Tony Allen picking up most of the wing minutes. Daniels will have the greatest upside with his red-hot scoring numbers. The Grizzlies aren't on a back-to-back, so Allen could get decent run tonight.

Chandler Parsons (left knee bone bruise) will be listed as out for all games this coming week and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.

The headaches for Parsons owners continue. Even this news is frustrating in the sense that it means he'll miss at least 10 more days, yet it's not dire enough to cut him outright. The Grizz announced that Parsons is "progressing as expected." If you have held onto Parsons this long due to his potential upside, it probably makes sense to stay patient in the hopes he comes out of this latest setback closer to 100%.

James Ennis (calf) has progressed to going through non-contact, on-court work, and he will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.

That means Ennis will miss all of Memphis' games this upcoming week, which means Troy Williams and Troy Daniels will get all the run they can handle with Tony Allen flirting with close to 30 minutes. Ennis is not worth stashing in most leagues.
